Export Animal Products to Ukraine
Alert
TRACES REQUIREMENT – January 2016
Ukraine has notified USDA that they require all manufacturers/exporters of animal by-products (intended for purposes other than human consumption) to be listed in the European Union (EU)’s TRACES system. Consignments from facilities not listed on TRACES will be rejected.* This means facilities must meet not only the requirements of the below certificate but also the EU requirements for the exported commodity. Listing on TRACES does not necessarily mean that the relevant certificate required by Ukraine is endorsable. For more information, including on how to become listed on TRACES (after verification of meeting pertinent EU requirements), please contact your local Veterinary Export Trade Services (aka VS Service Centers). The list of facilities currently on TRACES. Select the appropriate facility type under “Animal by-products” on the left on your screen).
*Ukraine has made an exception for companies that successfully exported the product into Ukraine between April 4, 2013 and April 4, 2018. Companies that are not listed in the appropriate section of TRACES but that did successfully export consignments into Ukraine between April 4, 2013 and April 4, 2018 should have their Ukrainian importer verify prior to shipment with the port of entry into Ukraine that they are already included on Ukraine’s list of approved establishments.
